Why dont people put reed switches around their screens?

If a magnet came by, the screen would turn off and... *Red LEDs would start flashing!(or a buzzer rang or whatever)*
*=Other thing

then when the magnet was moved, the screen turns on and the (other thing) turns off.

Because magnets don't affect LCD screens, and do affect CRT screen, even if they're off...

but its a warning! not so that id dosent get hurt when its off, its so that you dont hurt anything while playing! And even if it dosent get effected, It would help with protecting batteries.

Batteries are affected by magnetism?

magnets can do lots of things.
